The Moorish Castle Complex (The Tower of Homage and The Gate House), Gibraltar

A contemporary of the more famous Alhambra, The Moorish Castle Complex (The Tower of Homage and The Gate House) proudly bears the scars of many sieges it has withstood over the centuries. The original fortifications were built around 1160, but the castle's most prominent feature, its main tower, as well as its walls, gatehouse, and bastions date back to the 14th century, or the second Moorish period. You can easily observe the structure of the castle and absorb the medieval atmosphere from the outside. Entering the tower doesn't add much in the way of illuminating information: no exhibits, just some historical facts you can find out otherwise if you don't feel like paying the entrance fee. A visit to The Moorish Castle Complex (The Tower of Homage and The Gate House) represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Gibraltar online vacation planner to plot your vacation.

This year, the taxi was victory drive to the Moorish Castle instead of the great tunnel. Because I had already seen it, I was glad that what else was on the program, just who is here will be disappointed. Only from the outside, it looks quite nice, and inside, nothing is up on a small exhibition. Only positive, one has a fantastic view.

現在の5ポンド紙幣の裏にも描かれた城の遺構です。特に整備されいるようには見えませんが、ジブラルタルで見れる歴史の中では古い分類になるでしょう。

Is the ruins of the Castle now 5 pounds drawn on the back side of the banknote. Maintained in particular that will be in the history channels in Gibraltar, but doesn't look like the old classification.

What a magnificent me devil fortress. Used until recently as a prison. This attraction needs to be fully opened up to the tourists.

Great lookout point if you like to take a few photos of the city or the airport. But not really a "must see".

Very historical. Great views. Might only be interesting to those who know Spanish history.

Great views but as others have said not much else, you walk up the stone tower to get to the top, the panoramas from here are spectacular its worthwhile having your camera at the ready or even binoculars. I look forward to the day they open up the old prison section as a tourist attraction, it would add interest and an extra dimension to this iconic Gibraltar destination

we did not go since it cost 10 pounds. When you think that the Alhambra in Granada costs you 15 EUR, this is clearly not worth it
